ATTACHING YOUR TRAILER

Coupling Trailer to Hitch

1. Make sure hitch ball and coupler are the same size (the factory coupler accepts a 1-7/8 in hitch ball).

2. Back the tow vehicle as close as possible to the trailer. This is easier and safer than pulling the trailer to the vehicle.

3. Be sure the coupler-locking mechanism is released.

4. Raise the front end of the trailer. Position the coupler directly over the hitch ball and lower until it is all the way down.

6. Lock the coupler to the hitch ball.

Be sure the coupler is in the locked position and the locking pin is placed through the coupler-locking mechanism. Try to lift up the trailer tongue.

If it comes loose from the ball, unlock and start procedure again.

WARNING

If the coupler cannot be secured to hitch ball, do not tow the trailer.

Refer to an authorized Can-Am roadster dealer to have the trailer inspected.

Securing Trailer to Hitch

1. Attach safety chains to hitch. Attach the left chain to the bracket on the right side of hitch and the right chain to the left bracket.

NOTE: Chains should be crossed underneath the coupler with just enough slack to permit tight turns. Ensure chains will not drag on the ground.
